Run by the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation, Bolgatty Island in Kochi is one of the four many islands of the city. Home to its heritage hotel and many more, there's something about the island one can't seem to let go of once here. India’s Unmissable Experience series is curated by Rupali Dean.
Located amidst the backwaters, Bolgatty Island is a quaint yet fulfilling escapade nestled in Kerala.
The island's most famous for its eponymous palace known as Bolgatty Palace which was constructed in 1744 by the Dutch and eventually taken over by the British. The palace has now been converted into a hotel, open to guests all round the year. Play golf, go bird-watching in Bolgatty Island, join in the Ayurveda wellness programmes; watch ships entering the Kochi port through the estuary, boat in the backwater, go on a heritage trail of Fort Kochi, and visit cultural centres of traditional art forms! With its own golf course and honeymoon cottages, the island with its palace suits the taste of one and all. Image Credits: keralatourism.org
